The Big Switch Off

At work

Saving energy makes good business sense

Many companies think of energy as a fixed overhead but saving energy is actually one of the easiest ways to reduce costs and improve your reputation. Simply by switching machines off after use, or turning the thermostat down by one degree, you can make real savings on your energy bill. And just reducing it by 20% could add the same amount to your profits as a 5% increase in sales.

Take part in the Big Switch Off and find out how much energy and money you can save!
